Make this crisp, refreshing raw carrot salad in under 10 minutes. This easy recipe uses ribboned carrots and a tangy sesame lime dressing, perfect for a quick, healthy side dish or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and ribboned
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the carrots: Use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons from the carrots. Place the ribbons in a medium bowl.
  2. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until combined.
  3. Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the carrot ribbons. Toss gently until all the ribbons are evenly coated.
  4. Rest: Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the carrots to soften slightly and absorb the flavor. This step helps with hormone balance benefits.
  5. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion before you serve.

Notes

  • For a gut health boost, you can add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the dressing.
  • If you do not have a vegetable peeler, shred the carrots using the large holes on a box grater for a quick slaw texture.
  • This salad is excellent for meal prep; store the dressing separately and toss just before eating for maximum crispness.
